With the help of an implantable loop recorder, doctors can determine the abnormal heart rhythm that is responsible for these symptoms.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>An implantable loop recorder (ILR)<\/strong> is a small, USB-sized electrical device that can be implanted with a simple surgery under the patient&#8217;s skin. Its purpose is to detect a heart rhythm disorder automatically or at the patient&#8217;s request using a special activator when symptoms occur. ILR battery life is approximately 18-24 months.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Fainting<\/strong> (also known as syncope) is a sudden loss of consciousness. It occurs after a sudden drop in blood pressure and due to a reduced oxygen supply to the brain.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The ILR is implanted with a minor surgery by making a small incision (1-2 cm) on chest area which is under local anaesthesia. The device is placed under the skin and the wound is closed with one small suture.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>After ILR implantation<\/strong>, patients have almost no restrictions while performing normal daily activities. Patients can normally work, take a bath, swim without the risk of damaging the device. Magnets which are used in everyday environment cannot harm the device; however, strong electromagnetic fields (substations, welding machines, magnetic resonance) must be avoided.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In case symptoms occur (sensation of irregular or accelerated heart beats, fainting, etc.), the patient should contact his\/her doctor in order to check the IRL&#8217;s recordings. IRL, same as a pacemaker, is based on wireless technology and it is not necessary to open the wound in order to check-up the device. When a patient experiences a problem, he or she can also activate the recording using a special activator (similar to a remote control).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div id='av-masonry-1'
